The Multi-cultural History of Dixieland Music in the United States

The musical contributions of immigrants to the United States from various countries are discussed. Dixieland and Jazz are an amalgamation of the musical backgrounds of many diverse cultures. The makeup and functioning of a live five or six piece Dixieland Band will be explained. Individual instruments will be demonstrated (usually trumpet, trombone, clarinet, bass, drums and banjo, guitar or piano.) It will be shown that each member of the band must do his or her part to make the band function as a whole, similar to each member of society doing his or her job or part to make society function for the good of all. The program is performance intensive and also encourages questions and discussions. Students are encouraged to support and participate in the Arts to enrich their lives.
